I had fun knitting this top down raglan. No charts or pre-planning...just
"composed" as I knit. The yarn is KnitPicks "Chroma" that I bought last year
during their half price blow-out sale. The raglan yoke and body took three
days to knit, each sleeve took one day....five days of fun!

I was giving this yarn by a dear friend of mine on this site, Lou
Chicquette. It is a beautiful, supple blend of 42% wool, 35% acrylic, and 23%
Viscose. The yarn is by Berroco and is buttery soft that makes it a very
pleasant yarn to knit.

Hey all! Got a late start but back int the knitting game for the winter.
Having lived in Dallas for a couple years 80 degree weather in December
somehow seemed inappropriate for knitting. Now that I'm back in the New
England area I'm enjoying my tea and knitting meditation time. Currently
working a cable cowl neck.

May you all have many Blessings through this Holiday Season and the coming
New Year. Whether you celebrate the Solstice [like me], Christmas, Hanukkah
[which was early this year], Kwanzaa, New Year, Lunar New Year or whichever
and whatever your heart desires - or even not at all - I wish you Peace and
Happiness in the time ahead.

I'm starting my first double-knit lace project. The pattern is by a young
New York City lad by the ravetar of Aptenoknits. It's available free on
Ravelry until March. I'd never considered lace before, having gotten trapped
in a double-knitting energy vortex years ago in my reckless knitting youth.
Trapped in the vortex as I am, lace always seemed inaccessible and
remote.
